Drop Box Taby Activity

Need a quick taby activity? Here’s a drop box!

Tabies are so much fun – but tabies are also a hard age group to entertain. Do you have a taby? That’s my silly word for the middle ground when a child isn’t a baby anymore, but definitely isn’t a toddler.

I have a 19-month-old taby and he can be quite the little handful. Sometimes, I need activities to occupy him so I can do something wild like prep dinner or unload the washing machine. Easy activities, like this drop box, come in handy!

It’s all about dropping things…

In my world with tabies, two things hold true: they love sensory activities and they love having a task.

So when I’m looking for a new activity with my taby, it always comes down to either something sensory or something with a task – and that task is usually putting one item into another item.

Grab your Connect 4 – we need it!

Taby activities don’t need to be fancy activities to be effective. In fact, the faster I can make it the better because with a taby, they might play with it for 5 seconds or 5 minutes. We have no way of knowing…

This drop box seems small…

I kept the Connect 4 pieces and the tissue box downstairs for a while after making this. It was always right there when I needed to run off for a second (you know, sometimes it’s nice to pee without an audience…).
